See an orthopedics: See an orthopedic doctor soon to take an xray, and advise, you may have a break. If no fracture and ankle support in the shoe will do to give you support for four to six weeks.

Ice and compression: Use ice to the area 2-3 times per day for 20-30 minutes and then use a compression wrap or stocking
